  • No.

    Sand to wafers… Fortunately, there is no shortage of raw material. Silicon is the second most common element in the earth’s crust, comprising about 26% and exceeded only by oxygen at 49%. But silicon does not occur naturally in the pure form needed for electronic applications, for which it must contain less than one in a billion non-silicon atoms. The starting material really is sand. Not just any sand, but silica sand, specially quarried for this purpose and having concentrations of quartz (silicon dioxide) as high as 95%.

  • As someone who is not religious in any form besides childhood indoctrination, all I can say is jesus fucking christ. Our country needs a purge of religious extremists. Do your fucking thing. Let me do mine. Don't push your beliefs on me. Freedom of religion also means freedom FROM religion.

  • Ha! You think the American public has the backbone to take anything by force? Not fucking likely. Corps will utilize law enforcement who are already militarized. Large part of the bell curve of the population can't even think for themselves let alone coordinate to do something productive. They haven't got what it takes to stand up for themselves. They think they do but they don't. This goes for both sides of the 2 party system.

  • Replacement level for whom? To sustain the current population? Population growth? Status quo? Corporations?

    Not sure any of these things are needed to be sustained at the levels we are currently at.

    Someone please explain the detrimental repercussions of not having an equal to or greater than replacement level.

  • Firstly thanks for replying.

    Therapy, works, when the individual wants to change. At this level of crime there is a slim chance of that desire.

    Their peers are likely part of the reason they are committing these crimes. Too much freedom due to the environment that they were born into , by no choice of their own, also contributed. To be clear I don't even blame the parents most of the time. Even they can't out influence the friends group. The abuse, well it's no lie that the judicial system needs to be fixed at ALL levels, but where's the money in that?

    Your method needs to happen way before they get to this point so that they have less of a chance to get here.

    So between juvi and therapy there still isn't a resolution to fix them all. Or even fix a greater percentage of offending children.

    These kids, not likey anything will fix one of them let alone all of them. Am I shity for giving up on correcting their learned behavior? Yeah most likely. Facing consequences for ones actions still seems to be the answer for me.

    You are a better person than me.

  • ??!!??What??!!?

    I give two shits about Wells Fargo. So my issue is with your position of not trying children in criminal courts. What should societies do about children running amok and doing whatever they want? What do you think we should do to educate them about the repercussions of committing crimes?

  • You could say that with most any hardware. You could have a dedicated server fail and have your network be down till you got another instance up or have a "fall back" kick in.

    What makes Rasp Pi so much more unstable? If anything a couple PIs are definitely a cheaper solution compared to other hardware like you are suggesting?

  • What a crap take. You know how many people young and old have been in a foreign country with a majority of the populace looking to kill them, have a thing called ROE Rules Of Engagement to guide when they should shoot to kill. Many time people with weapons, lethal weapons in their hand and those people would have to gauge whether or not they were a threat.

    All police should have to adhere to a common ROE when engaging with the America/non American populace. If soldiers had to do it in a country where they were not welcome it should be a no brainier that the people sworn to "protect and serve" should have to do this bare minimum in our own country.

  • Reolink is a Chinese company. Not known for their privacy. My experience with their cameras is the quality is meh and their software is even more meh. It amazes me how often they get recommended. I guess it's due to their cheapness.

  • You can already do this. There are plenty of vids that show you how and it's pretty easy to get started. Expanding functionality to get it to act and respond how you want is a bit more challenging. But definitely doable.

  • It was an Apple ii I think and Star Trek of some sort. ASCII based graphics and words. Idk I was 6. Didn't have a clue what I was doing. It was on my bio father's computer. He used it as a way to distract me while Mom and him argued over child support. Last time I saw him thankfully. But at least I have that memory of trying to catch a "k"

    Fuck I'm getting old.

  • I have my lights set to turn on slightly before I am supposed to wake, turn off after I go to work, before I return from home, and after I go to bed. I've recently added mmwave sensors to turn them on and off based on my presence within a room. I can do all kinds of automations that I could do manually sure but if I don't need to and can minimize the amount of excess energy waste then why wouldn't I want a wirelessly controlled switch and or lights?

    And yes most everyone can do this. Google Home Assistant and get lost in the rabbit hole.
